@LadybugLeslie, thank you for taking the time to document all this. I found out about most of these by accident over the past couple of months!
You're so welcome! Once I started doing the math, the way it all piled up together was blowing my mind! I had to share. If you know of any other cascade-y type deals, let me know and I will include them!
@LadybugLeslie This is a great thread. For me, trying to figure out what the best deals are within the overlapping combos and sets is the most confusing. Thanks for the help! And everyone else who is adding info.
@simgeek79 I've written down # 784. From working with Elianahere's website tool, I think I should get L,L,L for around 83 pts then. Glad to hear the rotation should start again. I also wasn't following the DDs at the beginning. Didn't realize I was missing bargains.
@Ianlyn I'm afraid we don't know for sure the list is going to rotate but it always has, at least a couple of times so I'm just using the power of positive thinking to ensure it does Let's all keep our fingers, toes and eyes crossed lol!
Thanks @LadybugLeslie for pulling together more good bargain schemes
@janineisabaws I noticed on the Complete A Set thread you were looking to get Hogans' Starter Kit, if you can wait till next rotation you can get the whole set for 74 points off the DD. The details are in this thread. You also you mentioned Romanza Bridal which is Deal # 626 - 61% off. I'm actually going for Romanza Ceremony, Reception and Attire (all three sets) which is Deal # 662 at 71% off. I'm at 27% CYS and according to Elianahere's calculator I will be able to get all the whole collection for 5 Sim points

My pleasure, my pleasure. I have been researching more, but I am going to have to wait to type them up, because all of the overlap has made my head start to spin. But as a teaser- it involves, Blast From the Past, May 2011, and Finest Living, Finest Cooking- all of which should be very inexpensive if you're going for other things I've already typed up

OH! I was afraid we didn't know for sure whether the rotation would start again. That's why I've been paying so close attention to the DDs lately. Sort of a last chance. I don't even want to think about how much money I've spent on this game. Crazy! Thank goodness for the free SimPoint ads ... which is also crazy because I never click on ads anywhere else on the net!
Y'all!! I just realized it is possible to get Coffee Bean Hipster Loft for 17 TOTAL sp!! That's right. Go check it out on the first page.
Wow Leslie! That's awesome
It's crazy!!!! I wish all the featured looks were on the DD rotation. The eloquently eclectic collection will also give you about 500 points towards the Collectionne Stanke which is barely on the DD.
Yes, I totally agree! I love that Collectionne Stancke but sooo pricey. Wouldn't it be great if they did another list after this one rotates? So many of my favourites didn't make this last one and the Sales pages are better than nothing I guess but not like 70% off. MMAO hasn't been good to me either. Maybe one day...

Blast From the Past/May 2011 Compilation/ Finest Living Finest cooking cascade added to the top page.
@simgeek79 - I'd be surprised if there was ever a different DD list. I do wonder if one day there will be a major fire sale though....
Also, I noticed some people refer to it as MMLMAO- ha. That's usually how it is for me! lol I think it will be more exciting after I am done with a lot of the sets that I'll be finishing off through the DD rotation.
I just got the green download button on the Sun, Surf & Sand (Swim + Sleep). I owned the Sleep part (furniture/deco), and one or two of the Swim set. A few of the Sleep items also help toward Featured sets, which I had already picked up.

@Jaceigh I know, I heard that it was the final list, I guess I'm just hoping that maybe they would reconsider....I find it interesting that they keep advertising the free download of Sims 4 all over the forum and wonder if they are tracking how many of us are actually doing that and playing and then watching for our comments good or bad. Maybe if we still stick to Sims 3 despite their discounts and giveaways they might keep the store going a little bit longer to make even more money since we're not all rushing out to buy the new game. Alternatively, it could completely backfire on us, and they decide that Sims3 and the store are holding us back and will close the store sooner rather than later to force us to move on to Sims 4...not sure, but making me wonder...
Thanks @LadybugLeslie for all the new tips. I wasn't sure if I would go for the March 2011 Compilation but those numbers look pretty decent so have marked my calendar
As for September 2011, I was planning to buy Viva Las Vegas Living (Deal # 10) for 406sp as you mentioned and I already own Hollywood Regency. I'll have to check my CYS once I've bought Viva to see what I still owe on it. I currently own 16% of Boho Vintage Women. Hmmnn...so now I'm wondering if I have to buy Viva...Do you think I would get the comp free by owning Boho and Regency? Boho will only cost me 233 with my CYS. If I did get it free, then I wouldn't have to buy Viva and would get it free thru this comp and which would then help towards Go All in Comp cascade....any thoughts?? Clear as mud?!

Well, I'm certainly doing my part to keep the store open! It's shameful. A couple of days ago I spent more money for SimPoints so I'll be ready to buy Boardwalk and the Bakery when their DDs come up...plus a few other sets I have my eye on. I'm just not getting the free points from the ads that often anymore, and I can't spend all my time trying to chase them. Ah well, I just tell myself DH and I spend more $s than that going out to eat one time.

If you have Regency and Boho, your CYS for the compilation would be 275. That's assuming you also have the free halloween items. They're only worth 5 sp though, so it won't change your value too much if you don't. If you just did Regency and VLV your CYS would be 535. So if you can get boho for 233 + 275 to CYS = 508 total SP for the compilation and getting you going on the Go All In cascade. Not too shabby. There are a few boho women's items on the DD, so you might be able to get it for a little less than 233 total, if you didn't already take those into consideration. The 2 items left on the DD have a SPV of 160, so if you don't own those, you could pick them up for 62 SP and then have a CYS of roughly 90 sp (total head guesstimate on that last number, so I might be a touch off) to get boho.
Also it worries me all the promotion of the free game trial too. I just don't remember anything like this with TS3. It makes me wonder what they'll do if it continues to under-produce for them.
Updated the first post with info on how to get BahHaus for 80 sp!!
EDIT- Also, if you follow @simgeek79 's route for hogan's deep fried diner, the I heart the 50's set will be free, if the list rotates again. Big if, but I noted it just in case and also for anyone who might already have the diner kit.
Thanks @LadybugLeslie that's good to know I appreciate you doing the math I did pick up the teen top earlier today off the DD and have one other item (Deal # 671 already on my Google calendar so I'll pick it up before the best Boho Deal # 64 comes up. Kicking myself for not getting Deal# 184 (Derby Delight) but I don't want to wait another rotation so I'll just pay the difference. Still a good deal. That BahHaus is a great deal. That must be how I got it down so low as well. I unfortunately missed it when it came up earlier this rotation (came during dinner meal prep/ eating / clean up _ I was spitting mad - lol) and I am now trying to wait patiently for it. It's hard, I love that set!! Thanks again

@scillakees - Hello I don't think I've had the pleasure of chatting with you on here before but I have seen you on the forums but I'm thinking you just read my post above since you just sent me the Delightful Derby - it is a Happy Day indeed! Thank you so much, you're too kind I really do try to get the best deals and use the least amount of points needed to get something (just ask my family who think I am completely obsessed with spreadsheets and staying up to all hours, and I guess they're right ) and I truly, truly appreciate it when fellow simmers share their precious points with us. Oh my phone just went off again and I see you've sent me something from the Collectionne Stanke, thank you again so much. I truly appreciate it. Off to bed now, will definitely have good dreams and I wish you all a good night / day as well!
